Rail and tie-mounted flag stands

IPS supplies a wide range of tie-mounted and rail-mounted flags stands, as well as a wide range of commonly used flags.

Steel collector pans for railway pollutants

IPS Collector Pans provides full pan protection for the area between and outside the rails with a system of steel pans and cross drains, which are easily installed on new or existing tracks.

Cross drains installed between the ties at right angles to the pans carry pollutants such as spilled diesel fuel, greases, chemicals and toxic liquids into tanks for treatment. IPS Collector Pans are ideal for fuelling stations, loading areas, and washing and cleaning operations.

IPS conducts detailed surveys to create design drawings for customised pans, so they precisely match the existing geometry and minimise field cutting during installation.
